logification v1.0.1

logification

Simple logger using console.log(), console.group(), some funky ASCII, coloring and custom delimiters - supports log-levels acc. to RFC5424.

Simple logger using console.log(), console.group() and some funky ASCII, please note that additionally to the severity-level according to RFC5424, another distinction is made here via 'type' This allows better fine-tuning of the logger. Lets assume you encounter a warning (level 4), but you still want to display the console-log with an error-decoration in some special cases in order to draw attention when looking at the log, you can use the type 'err'.

To additionally write the log to file, set the value for 'writeToFile' in 'loggly-config.json' to true and set the correct path for 'logFileLocation'

INFO:

Installation:

npm i logification --save

Logging levels/priorities according to RFC5424:

Logging states of the app in './loggly-config.json' (can be changed at runtime):

Logging source-types (adapt/extend as needed):

Log-statement sources can be added/edited/removed, will be shown with source-specififc delimiters for differentiation.

Usage Example

In this case we are logging an error if the env-vars can't be required, calling loggly with three arguments (msg, level, source).

const dotenvAbsolutePath = path.join(__dirname, '.env');
const dotenv = require('dotenv').config({
  path: dotenvAbsolutePath
});
if (dotenv.error) {
  loggly.error(`ERROR WHILE READING ENV-VARS: \n${dotenv.error}`, 'err', 'app.js');
  throw dotenv.error;
}
